Just in case someone missed it.
Different standards in regard to disturbing images too.
Was it really that bad? They showed a couple of times from Polanc's onboard camera where you couldn't see anybody getting injured. I think they wanted to show how it happened right in front of Pogačar while he was very relaxed and talking with another rider. Nobody died, nobody was seriously injured I think, but at he same time it affected the racing big time. Riders completely stopped and were soft pedalling. I think it's a pretty standard thing to show the crash 4-5 times to see exactly what happened.

The faceplant was nasty. Maybe too much for certain audience. It's considerate to stick to least tolerable criteria establishing a standard.
Personally, I wasn't bothered apart from the fact it'll affect Yates and the rest during the coming couple of weeks, which always bothers me.

Great win today by Ewan, and of course by Pogacar for the GC
